  • Artist Yayoi Kusama's interactive Obliteration Room begins as an entirely white space, furnished as a monochrome living room, which people are then invited to 'obliterate' with multi-coloured stickers.
    Over the course of a few weeks the room was transformed from a blank canvas into an explosion of colour, with thousands of spots stuck over every available surface.
    TateShots produced this time-lapse video of the Obliteration Room covering the first few weeks of its presentation at Tate Modern in 2012. It was first conceived as a project for children, and was first staged at the Queensland Art Gallery in 2002.

    I am 26 and feel very ignorant of art. I feel like I was funneled into a scientific background. Art was not really an avenue for my family or at my school but I find it very interesting. I am now on a self learning journey and this channel is part of that.

      Forget about "rules" and opinions and just follow your heart. Get inspired, and if you like you can always learn techniques, but in the end art is personal, so don't worry about ignorance and make it your own!

    I see this as the blank canvas of life. Everyone is invited to leave their mark show thier talent and individuality, their unique creativity. The problem is that the world is filled with so many people, so many colors, so many little stickers. And here the artist is saying "you have one chance, how will you stand out?"

    In answer to those that asked, Nick shot this on a Canon 5d, taking more than 14,500 stills over 14 days (and also reading three books in the process).

    It's way too bright and it gives me a slight headache, but there is something so fascinating about her vision. If this is how she felt when she saw those visions of dots as a kid, she's immersed us into her personal experience. That's talent...

    I had the opportunity to visit this room and the other Kusama's exposition in Chile. And I achieved to identify myself by that obsesion for colours and dots. It was so fascinant. I'd visit it again if another chance would let me so. Very beauty.

    I participated in one of these rooms maybe 4 or 5 years ago, right at the end of the exhibition. When all the dots had already been placed by visitors for weeks. But actually seeing the transformation from something that isn't really a anything, just white surfaces. To something where you can actually make out the curves of these surfaces easily. Gave me a completely different view of the exhibition. Really interesting.

    It's interesting how most people go directly for the wall first lol I wonder how many people decided to put dots under the furniture where no one would see their artwork xD I know I would have made my pattern under the desk drawer and maybe even under the couch, maybe a smiley face or my name

    I liked it about half way through, you could see peoples designs or spots of interest. Then it just became a mess where you couldn't really see anybodys creativity just a blur. I was also confused by the blog I read with it that it was done by children but the video showed mostly adults with few children. Still an interesting idea. What was done with the room after?

    This girl is not interesting at all, but the concept socially is very interesting, seeing in real time people alter the room in reaction to each other. I highly doubt its as mystical as portrayed, I doubt the colour placement is do to a standalone mood, because it would be altered by viewing the various colours placed by others. So the reaction socially to others people's decisions exponentially increases over time. Last note, the original texture and color chosen would alter the path and amount done by natural humans experiencing said room. ex. Pink fur room.
